On June 18th, Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg reported Manchester United are back in the chase for Joshua Zirkzee.
Two days later, Corriere di Bologna stated the Red Devils have made contact to sign the Bologna star, who has a €40m release clause.
On Tuesday, Corriere dello Sport said Zirkzee’s agent Kia Joorabchian could take his client to Manchester United as they are the only one willing to pay the €15m commission requested by the representative.
Gianluca Di Marzio now claims Manchester United have a ‘strong interest’ in the 23-year-old.
There’s reportedly been new contact from the Premier League side to try and sign the Dutchman. Erik ten Hag has his compatriot at ‘top of the list’ because he appreciates his profile and considers him as ‘one of the most important objectives’ this summer
Di Marzio adds the former Ajax manager has held talks with the frontman in recent days, which is the biggest development in these claims.
Meanwhile, AC Milan are still in the picture to sign the player, but the €15m agent fee is the major obstacle. The Rossoneri are evaluating other options to bolster their attack.
Zirkzee managed 12 goals and seven assists from 37 games for Bologna last season.
